Though this series did not achieve great success commercially, it became popular among the youngsters. It had 9 series and 54 episodes. Its final episode was aired on 16th December in the year 2015.

Some of the mistakes to avoid during its remake:

Use the POV element– This time it really got to be quite different from the earlier one. They need to set it apart completely. The Galecki version in it completely removed the peep factor completely, which makes it look like other general show about two guys living together. There was no twist in the entire show. While talking about the original peep show, it was undoubtedly outstanding. The new part is expected to be very interesting and hilarious. With the use of normal camera it was not made clear about the thoughts of the character. Things seemed clumsy in it.

Try making it different– Viewers will always like unique and different thing when it comes to entertainment. Even though the characters could be same but the concept should be different. If you completely copy some other series concept the writer cannot add his thoughts and ideas to it. Always focus on the newness of the programme. They show know the ways how to grab the attention of the public on the two main characters.

Make them likeable– Try making the series likeable not desperate. It should be made in such a way that people would admire and love viewing them. This show had managed to walk in the constant path by creation Mark and Jeremy the root of comic attraction. Whatever rubbish they did viewers were always on their side.

Avoid making it mean spirited– Despite of quarreling on petty matters, they really liked each other and they could not last long without each other. There is a thin line of difference between dark comedy and mean comedy. They should take a note of this thing when working on the series. The later provides a few reasons to laugh out. It will just make you feel miserable and you would this why you are watching it.

Though the earlier season was not liked much by the viewers, hopefully this season will be better than the previous one. This time viewers have much expectation out of it.

What happens when a socially incompetent nerd meets a delusional rock-star wannabe? The result is Peep Show- one of the greatest Brit sitcoms that boast of a cult following around the globe. For over 12 years, the El Dude duo had been entertaining the audiences with their decadent and hilarious adventures. From dancing like a maniac, to nibbling on a dead dog’s legs, to getting mugged at an underpass- the weirdest moments are what have given the Peep Show its iconic status.

If you have been uninitiated or have missed out on some of the episodes, then don’t fret as we won’t let you miss out on Mark’s most awkward moments from the sitcom.

Let’s take a stock of the uncomfortable moments that have lent the show its stomach-churning humor!

Dance adventures at ‘rainbow rhythm’ class

His love for his crush Sophie has led Mark to many comical adventures, but nothing quite compares to when he ends up at a hippy dance class in an attempt to impress his love interest. The situation gets funnier when he breaks out in a manic dance that failed to be everything but seductive.

Gloating call to Sophie

On meeting a lovely Dartmouth University student at a shop, Mark instantly falls in lust with her. He attempts to get into the sack with her by pretending to be a student himself. His gloating call to Sophie about sleeping with the young students turns out to be a bummer as nothing of that sort happens.

Getting mugged at an underpass

Mark’s moments are awkward, but could it get any more embarrassing than getting mugged at an underpass? When confronted by the man, he offers to give him his ‘valuable’ London travel card!

The poop story

This one has to be one of the most awkward moments from the Peep Show and it involves poop! When Jez’s plan to throw a magic mushroom party in Mark’s absence goes awry, he decides to poison Mark and lock him away. After being rescued by Johnson, Mark explodes, and quite literally so.

The runaway lover

When a hook-up between Sophie and Mark leads to her getting pregnant, Mark is found to be awkwardly irresponsible when he takes off to indulge in fried chicken while Sophie is giving birth to the baby.

The stag-do that went awry

When Jeremy runs over a dog that belongs to a girl he is dating, he ends up trying to burn the evidence which in turn leads to a complete mayhem at Mark’s stag-do. The most awkward moment comes when Jeremy tries to pass off the remains as turkey by nibbling on the leg!

Series 1:: Pilot Episode

Jeremy:: He is normally back by… now. Oh… there he is… is not dead after all.

The above expression was filmed for the pilot which never got broadcast. This sort of horrendous event explains the zest of originality behind the creation of such an astonishing comic classic. The show ruled over the general intellect and behavior of the viewers.

Episode 1 of Series 2:: Dance Class

Mark:: If there is not a place… for people… you believe in… well then what… all is this?

The comic classics like Peep Show, though, do not involve extensive research, yet such shows definitely drive many new searches and learnings.

These whole atmosphere becomes alive when people keep on sharing new views, funny comments and lots more beyond imagination.

Episode 2 of Series 3:: Sectioning

Jeremy:: I am… with Free… the Paedos… can’t we call it something… and…

Super Hans – Yeah?… Or… compromise… and…

This is an amazing piece of creativity that innovates the art forms. The dialogue is worth hearing repeatedly. As the crazy characters like Super Hans do not need their own voice-over because they speak everything that they think. This dialogue indeed was a fun collaboration between the writer and the producer.

Episode 5 of Series 4:: Holiday

Mark:: Jeremy… are many things… hole in the wintry… my bare hands… of a dog… you killed… is not one…

These lines narrate the incident when Jeremy goes to hide a dog that he had killed accidentally. Then, Jesse suggested that he ate it. The idea seems most ridiculous ending up on screen. The script is an enriched version of sarcasm blended with intense creativity.

Big Suze:: Mark… allowed to sit… on random children..

Mark:: He had… I want… honor…

Jeremy:: At least… on him… like a…

Though to its level of comedy, it never managed to attain highest rating but definitely was considered among cult programs.

If you’re a sitcom lover and if you are reading this review, then chances are that you’ve been with the El Dude duo for a long time now. With the starring cast becoming old to play the role of 30 something’s, it is about the right time that we said a sad laters to the pair!

We bid adieu to the sitcom that defined British television with a review of the final episode titled ‘Are we going to be alright’. The finale was a testament to Peep Show’s outstanding humor and depravity, which had the series going strong for more than a decade now.

Are you and I going to be alright with the sitcom’s end?

Yes, you will be alright as the final episode titled ‘Are we going to be alright’ would leave you with a sense of satisfaction as the series comes to a final close. After keeping the audience hooked on the to their television screens for 12 years, makers of the Peep Show have proved yet again why this is probably one of the greatest Brit sitcoms ever to have premiered on the telly screens.

The episode’s premise is fitting as it’s the forever teen, Jeremy’s 40th birthday. The oblivious birthday boy is washing down a healthy sprout sandwich with a pint of piss, while Mark is determined to make Jeremy turn 40. Jeremy’s wild idea to win Mark the affection of his crush, April, plays alongside the madness of this episode. Spurred by Jeremy’s advice on romance, Mark finds himself accompanying Super Hans to stalk his love interest.

It all ends well with humor and misery

Mark is busy chasing April and confessing his love to her, while unknown to him, Jeremy has kidnapped April’s husband Angus with the justification that ‘love has a dark side and ‘someone will always get kidnapped.’ All this folly comes to a climax as Mark gets to shag his love interest in a toilet and even manages to replace Angus for a cruise along the Greek Islands with April. But as is the custom with the Peep Show, everyone is destined to be miserable, and that is how we say goodbye to Jeremy and Mark.

As he is unable to rave for weeks, Jeremy finds himself being dumped by the boyfriend. Super Hans also faces the same destiny as his wife leaves him in the lurch. After all his crazy plans, efforts and toilet shagging, poor Mark yet again loses April to the husband. He is exasperated that even kidnapping Angus doesn’t prove helpful in winning the love of his squeeze.

As the El Dude brothers contemplate the various ways to kill each other, we leave the comic pair just as we were introduced to them in 2003 when the legendary show premiered- lazing in front of the television in a shabby house in Croydon. This scene invariably brings us to the end of one of the best sitcoms ever!
